Johannes Reimers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes ("Hannes") Heinrich Reimers (also Johann Reimers ; born April 5, 1885 in Wittmund , East Friesland , † May 4, 1947 in Wilhelmshaven ) was a German politician ( KPD ). He was a member of the Oldenburg State Parliament .

Life

Reimers, son of a bricklayer, learned the trade of bricklayer himself . He worked in this profession in Rüstringen . From 1923 to 1925 he was a member of the State Parliament of Oldenburg for the KPD. In addition to Johann Eilts , Reimers was considered the leading head of the KPD in Rüstringen. His house in Rüstringen at Schmiftstrasse 6 was searched several times by the police in 1923 and 1924. Reimers was suspected of having set up an illegal arsenal. However, the searches did not produce any evidence.

The Riistinger police observed in January 1930 that in the local group of the KPD, disputes between the moderate group around Eilts and a more radical group around Reimers had apparently broken out. The more radical group around Reimers was apparently able to prevail.

From 1931 Reimers was employed by the garden department of the city of Rüstringen. Until 1933 he headed the KPD children's group "Red Pioneers" and was a leader in the Red Aid . After the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists in 1933, he was dismissed from the city service. In 1935/36 he worked as a bricklayer again. From October 1939 to June 1942 he was a worker at the navy shipyard in Wilhelmshaven , then disabled.

After the war ended in 1945 he worked as a bricklayer for the city of Wilhelmshaven. Reimers rejoined the KPD, but without taking on significant functions in the party.
